This song of mineis like a flow of light.

In the rugged rocky terrain,day and night, I flow along,

I flow along unhindered.

This path of mine is uneven,full of thorns.

With a forceful flow of life,I flow along, breaking asunder,

I move along breaking the prison walls.

Before me stretches verdant beauty. To either side the radiant glow of

In my arms is the strength of thunder, my eyes gaze with pure and

unclouded sight. Only simple and clear thought do I think, never in a

The flower petals have fallen off only thorns are left, my flower

Oh my dearest friend, come to my village on the banks of the river

Suvarnarekha, come to the river.

The leads across the dunes by the sea. When the sun rises there the sky

and the sea bloom with colour. That colour awakens my mind and gives

me infinite pleasure.

In the cashew nut orchard the coloured birds always dance. The hawks

fly over to unknown places.

The sailor starts his journey hearing the far song of the rivers current.

He moves towards the sea without other thoughts.

I only love you to get your bliss. This is the essence that I've come to

I will go on doing your work with sincere effort, keeping the Supreme

On the arrival of spring the earth is harnessed with new decoration. The

living world is filled with the sweet flow of love and beauty.

Oh Creator, please come in front of me opening my eyes and smiling

sweetly. Appear before us with ever-charming face.

You only know your divine play. Oh Lord of Lords, you are the

embodiment of love and affection. But why do you make my heart cry

out for You? Oh Shameless One, please come into my shy heart.

melody of your music. My restless, complex mind mind wants to go to

your loving, sweet vibrations.

The dawn is taking bath with delightful smile. Oh God, let this dawn be

immortal in the far sky. Let your effulgence reach and illuminate the

corner of the mind.

I remain in your hope for ages and You have fulfilled my desire today.

Let the stream of compassion flow for ages. You may be anywhere but

remain in my heart.

Today You have manifested in the visible form. As You exist that is

why I exist.I survive with heart and soul. I realize that

your cosmic play is not the

last word.
